Not negative Gary, just factual, so no tax involved! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

My understanding is that the TOT is not supposed to be carried over to the consumer.
With regard to auto gratuity, Bajatzu has now joined that unfortunate ranks..

sail2wind said: Jimbos lost our business on the first day in the marina. I asked to refill my soft drink, which was not completely empty and got charged another $2.50. I would understand if it were cans or bottles, but this was dispensed from a soda gun. In addition, the food was OK at best. You want another drink you have to pay for it. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me. You think because it comes from a fountain, it's free? Even Burger King charges for refills.

Pretty much the same here with fountain drinks. Many will even offer a "go cup" also. I have seen some places that serve very large fountain drinks limit the refills to only one.

If I could only get free refills on my beer ! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />
I don't think I would assume I am getting much for free on SXM, and the cost also includes the transportation and handling to get it to the island.
I have said a few times, a tip such as 15% added to the bill I have zero issue with and understand why they would as long as it is not deceptive in the way they do it.
TOT, have only run into that a couple times, did not sweat it. Oh well, I just keep that in mind if I choose to return.
Sure wish I was on island having to deal with these issues! 156 days and counting.
Cheers, Todd
I prefer the Isle seat

Every chain in our area, that gives you the cup to fill yourself has free refills. They were in TX when I visited last week also. Most restaurants in the Albany area give free refills on soft drinks. CT must be an anomaly.

Point #1: That would be AWESOME! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> Point #2: Agree...but when they add that 15% it makes it my total tip. If it was my choice then they would get 20% I've never seen the 5% added so not sure what my response would be....probably pay it and scratch the establishment off my return list.
